I'm going to start out this week talking about the bedroll that I am currently crocheting. Making bedrolls with plarn (plastic yarn) is the latest request from the agency First Call for Help. They will then give them to the homeless.
I've been busily cutting the tremendous amount of plastic grocery sacks that we have here at the house, and then crocheting them into making the bedroll.
I have a LONG way to go before this is 6 ft long, and I'm guessing well over 200 bags to make it.

I've been wanting to get back to crocheting with plarn and this is the perfect project to start with. I MAY make more after this one that will go to my middle daughter and her family for their primitive camping.....or, I might move on to making more of the grocery sacks. I also seen to make placemats and coasters as well.

**$25 PayPal from Swagbucks (notice this is the 3rd week in a row I've rec'd $25 from Swagbucks?)

**$2 amazon from C+R Research
**$9.45 to my checking account from a sale in my Etsy shop. (I forgot to go pay the fees and shipping before it was transferred to my bank or it would have been less, and now the fees and shipping still do need to be paid)

When our quilt newsletter came out, there was an article about something else that the agency First Call For Help would like made to give out. That something are plarn bed rolls for the homeless.
I've been wanting to crochet with plarn again for a very long time. This is a good time to start. Great way to get rid of the over abundance of plastic grocery sacks that are piling up at our house too.

I wonder just how many bags it will take to make a 6 foot long bedroll....
I am adding these on to my 6 list for the year. I'm putting bedrolls as I do intend to make more than one. I'm not sure if they will go to charity past this first one though. My middle daughter and her family primitive camp and they could use these mats too!

I did more work on my Penny rug this week. I got a few circles sewn on and started to trim around those. I highly doubt I find time this week to get it out again. I want to though!

I put together 3 sets of double folded hotpads to sew up.

Lastly this week, I did more cutting. Everything I cut is not in this picture, but you get the idea. The biggest, and hardest part for me, is actually putting what I cut in with the project I've cut it for! I've spent some time this week attempting to find my other bags of cuts and put them where they belong, but I have a long way to go on that!!

I made myself a promise to work on something each and every day no matter how little time I find for it. If I can keep it up like I have this past week, then things will start getting done-----that is if I can stop myself from starting new projects so often. 😳😀😣
